    You can get POV to render the background as transparent. Put
Output_Alpha=true into your POVRAY.INI or use the +UA command line
parameter. Oh, and you'll need to use an output file format that supports
transparency (.png or .tga) - this can be set, again in POVRAY.INI, using
Output_File_Type=N for .png or =T for .tga, or use the command line
parameters +FN (.png) or +FT (.tga)...
    See section 5.2.2.3.1 of the POV help file for more info on output file
types and transparency...

    Oh, and I've never tried this, but my guess would be, if you want, say,
50% transparency you could put background { colour rgbt <1,1,1,0.5> } in
your scene file... Can anyone confirm that ??
